Blue Microphones, a leading innovator in microphone technology, announces the availability of Spark Digital; the world’s first studio condenser microphone to offer both USB and iPad connectivity! The digital version of Blue’s renowned analog Spark microphone, Spark Digital delivers professional-quality audio to any iPad or any computer, laptop or tablet with USB input. Taking mobile recording to the professional level, Spark Digital features the same studio-grade condenser capsule and hand-selected components as the original, analog Spark, for high-fidelity recording and consistent performance in any situation. Spark Digital also delivers the same detailed audio found in the original Spark, making it ideal for a wide range of situations: vocals, guitar, drums, podcasts, piano, location recording and more.

Spark Digital also features studio controls directly on the microphone including volume and gain control, and instant mute. In addition, Spark Digital is the only iPad microphone to offer a zero-latency headphone out for direct monitoring, critical for eliminating distracting delay or for creating professional multi-track recordings where new tracks need to be synced with existing tracks. Spark Digital also employs a feature found only on the original Spark: the Focus control, providing two different sonic options in one mic.

‘Focus Off’ captures crisp, powerful audio with enhanced low frequency sensitivity for recordings with greater impact and definition, and ‘Focus On’ captures greater clarity and detail for a tighter, more focused sound. For the recording novice, the Focus control provides the freedom to experiment with different sonic signatures in one mic, while providing the experienced recordist with versatile options.
